Hi, I observe, iscsit_allocate_cmd() process waiting indefinitely for 'iscsit tag' to become available. Here is the scenario: - at initiator, run "iozone -i 0 -I -+d -s 100000 -r 16384 -w" in an infinite loop. - after few seconds, target fails to obtain 'tag' from sbitmap_queue_get(), while processing ISCSI_CTRL PDU via isert_recv_done(). - then iscsit waits there for tag to become available, by calling schedule() in iscsit_wait_for_tag() - and the process never scheduled back again, not sure why. Due to this blockage the whole completion logic at iSER target went to grinding halt, causing NOPOUT request timeouts at initator, and below hung traces at target. Is this a known issue?
